From Chief to Ball

Chen Jian said, it depends on your ability.It should be simple and interesting, so that people after enlightenment can continue to read it. It is best to add some jokes and anecdotes, but it must be clear when explaining.You are all well-read and well-informed, have learned from ancient to modern times, and are proficient in ancient books and stories, which is far inferior to me.

Li Yun frowned, thinking it was so simple, but how difficult it is to do it?If he can really do it, he must be a well-known person in the market. Although I have studied the six arts of gentlemen and the six arts of palaces for several years, I am not capable of this.

But according to what Chen Jian said, he tried to go out and wander around. After asking for a day, Li Yun's interest came.

Because he is a disciple of the academy, it is inevitable that he will be respected by others.

There are people who ask questions, both adults and children, and the questions are also varied, some are weird, some are ashamed of privacy, or the questions make Li Yun frown and ponder hard to explain.

Li Yun couldn't answer almost any of the children's questions.

"Why is the sun bigger in the morning and smaller at noon? It's cold in the morning? Hot at noon?"

"Why do people fart?"

"Why do kites fly? Why don't they fly when the string is broken?"

"Why is my penis swollen when I sit on the ground? The doctor asked my mother to smear it with duck's saliva. What did the duck do to my penis?"

"A long time ago, Ji Xia said that snails really grew up eating dead people. Are there resentful souls inside?"

"Why does one plus one equal two?"

……

As Li Yun thought, let alone a hundred thousand reasons, he couldn't answer even a hundred reasons.

However, the children's questions also made Li Yun and others think deeply. They are convinced that rational science can explain everything, even the movement of the sun, the earth and the stars, so there must be something about these problems that they may not know, but they just take for granted. The law forgets to ask the secret of why.

Compared to the children's questions, the adults' questions were simpler, and Li Yun finally met one that he could answer.

After I went back, I sorted it out, and thought it was related to what I had learned, so I took it out separately.Those that have nothing to do with me will be sorted out according to the current subject classification.

A few days later, Li Yun took the answer to a question, quoting from many sources, witty and witty, and explained a person's question through experiments. He finally experienced the pleasure of it.

The first answer to the [-] whys was sorted out in Mincheng like this.

Looking at the answers he wrote down, he felt that he was far from the requirements suggested by Chen Jian, and he was considered qualified.

"People who are enlightened can understand it. Once you start reading, you have to read it in one go to find the answer. It is a little interesting. The real explanation is not nonsense. It is mixed with some historical anecdotes about this matter. Try to read it the next day. It can be used as talking material when everyone is chatting."

Li Yun thought, writing this thing is actually much more interesting than writing textbooks. It turns out that on some levels, I don’t know why there are as many things as children—for example, when male and female dogs lie together, why can’t they be pulled apart? Like it's hooked?

You have to ask the people in agriculture or medicine who cut open dead bodies with knives all day long. What the hell are these kids thinking all day long?

Chapter 1 Eleven The Muddy Road

Chen Jian dug a hole and buried his brothers and sisters in various reasons.

Enjoy it, but be confused by it.

The more I asked, the more I realized how little I knew.The more I write, the more I doubt whether what I write will be wrong, so that I will be laughed at.The more I edit it, the more I can imagine that children or adults in the future will always have to come up with explanations from the book when they speak.

This is a very wonderful state, a new birth that immortalizes the name and soul in a special way.

It's just that Chen Jian didn't jump into this pit. Instead, on a sunny day after the rain, he took Wang Zhe and his deputy, who had been resting in Mincheng, to the mining area in Nan'an.

The two lieutenants were quite talkative, and Chen Jian was willing to spend money, and there was no shortage of daily food and drink, which was much more comfortable than being in the army or in the wild.

Four people, five horses, one horse had a big package on it, and it was unknown what was inside.

The four of them are all good horse riders, and Chen Jian has spent decades riding a bareback horse, and now he is even more satisfied when riding such an obedient horse.

Occasionally showing off a little riding skills, boasting to each other about military skills, and occasionally shooting birds and rabbits on the road with a new gun, just like a summer tour.

The two assistants looked at Chen Jian's actions on the horse, and praised him: "Mr. Chen is so stable and skillful on the horse. If you don't say it, it's really hard to believe that Mr. Chen's father is in the navy. He grew up on the deck. Mr. Chen is one of those people near Yangguan who got on his horse and got off his horse to serve the people, which is even more believable.”

This is the best compliment. Although the blood tax system has long been abolished, those self-cultivating farmers are still the most conservative and the best soldiers to support stability.

Although a lot of charge has been abolished, if you really need rangers, you can still pull up a lot in a short time, but you haven't fought for many years, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have regular cavalry in its heyday.

Chen Jian accepted these compliments with a smile, and asked some interesting stories about the army, letting the horse walk hard on the muddy road.

I chose to go out on a sunny day after the rain, mainly to see the road conditions at this time.

This road is a transportation channel for coal and iron, not a formal post road. The repairs are very simple, and there are not many people who maintain it every year.

All kinds of minerals produced in the mining area have to be transported to the wharf on the Min River through such a road, and then sent to various towns by the wharf.

Because of this road, half of a catty of coal in Fujian City is freight.

There are two deep ruts on both sides of the road, with black mud floating and occasional pads of yellow sand.

Just after the rainy day, water striders from nowhere are already jumping on it.In such weather, no one would choose to transport coal and stone at this time.

This side is not bad, but if you continue to the impact plain in the lower reaches of the North River, the road will be even more magical.

During drought, the ground is smooth and hard, and a four-wheeled flatbed cart can pull a thousand catties of goods by one person.But once it rains, the slime will come up. Wearing shoes to go out after the rain is the most stupid thing. You can’t find the shoes in a maximum of three steps. It's really hard to move.

The road here is not bad, at least the owner of the coal mine will occasionally spend money to repair it, fill some sand and soil, and the ground has been compacted.

However, after being crushed by thousands of ruts, it finally became like this.

After turning a small river, Chen Jian suggested not to take the main road, but to cross the field along a straight line.

The three of them didn't say no, they pulled their horses and left.

Chen Jian stopped and walked, kept asking questions about surveying and mapping, and occasionally galloped to the hillside, standing on it, taking out a pen and paper to draw something.

Wang Zhe, who had been silent all this time, glanced at Chen Jian immediately and asked, "Mr. Chen, do you want to build a road?"

Chen Jian said with a smile: "Anyway, it will take some time to go to Qi, and we have to wait for the wind to turn. I thought that since Brother Wang is fine, you might as well do me a favor."

Turning around, he said to the two assistants: "This is a private matter, so of course we have to pay for it. I wanted to find someone else, but then I thought, since it costs money, why don't you let some of you take it?"

The two assistants smiled happily, and said that the order is to follow Mr. Chen to do things, and now they are idle, and if they have money, wouldn't it be better?

But Wang Zhe said: "Mr. Chen is so happy, I said this earlier, I have to wait until now."

"Brother Wang, I'm not a member of the army, so it's inevitable that I'll be a philistine in my words and deeds."

"Build the road?"

"Dig the river."

Wang Zhe murmured, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Chen Jian looked back at the two assistants, who shook their heads, indicating that they could not make the decision.
